Could you build this?
Partial While an embedded web dashboard and basic HTTP multipart file upload server are straightforward, implementing robust AWS S3 API compatibility (v4 signatures, multipart upload state machines, bucket policies, and XML serialization) requires meticulous systems work.
What it would actually take: A developer would write a Go or Rust server handling HTTP requests and mapping them to a local filesystem or key-value store. The core difficulty lies in full S3 API compliance, specifically AWS Signature Version 4 authentication verification, XML request/response protocol correctness, range requests, and robust chunked multipart uploads.
